Well done, all!

I really have to pay attention. This is one of the gatherings I want to visit, since I grew up due south of there (over the border). Some of my musical mentors taught at St....

I believe they have German Heritage in 16-oz wool or PV, both from Marton Mills.

I'd recommend that you email to Scotweb's help address. Their customer service is usually terrific.

I have very scant experience with shops where prices are in guineas, but I translate that as "I can't afford it!"

Update on Highland Mist. I have the actual fabric in my hands. It was expected about a month ago, but given the vagaries of domestic and world-wide shipping right now, I'm just glad to have it!
...

My avatar (above) is just such a fabric. It's the Carolina tartan, officially adopted by the US states of North and South Carolina. It was woven about 10+ years ago.

It's much more economical ...

Marton Mills has a wool version of their polyviscose Warrior tartan. It's called Highland Mist, in the 16-ounce Jura range of tartans. You can find it from MM, clan.com, or your favorite kiltmaker....

USAK's 5 yard wool kilt is essentially the wool equivalent of the semi-trad. I have semi-trads, and I'm going to order a 5-yard Real Soon Now.

I usually wear Wallace muted (by House of Edgar), although MacGregor red and green is also a good choice.

What's the range of a piccolo? It's lethal to 20 yards. Also works for Great Highland Pipes, of course.

How do you tune two piccolos? Shoot them both.

I'd like to do the trad class again.

Joan will come, too --- hopefully with two working feet, so she can meet everyone!

Thanks Barb. Those are pretty!

I'm with Anne: in lower yardage, the tartan will probably tell us what to do. Planning a 4-yard box pleat in MacGregor, I tried pinning it up to white stripes &...

Alas, I did not make it. The day before Palm Sunday was not an auspicious time for me. I wish they had pushed it back to the 10-11th, if they were trying to avoid Easter weekend.

Anyone? POIDH.

Benning Boy,

I was just poking around Dalgleish's site, and behold: American District is listed in stock in 11/15 ounce fabric, double width. Given Ron's good advice, I'd ask my chosen kiltmaker...

it's not only that there's no diphthong, but most other US denizens can't even find the preceding vowel sound. The standard English long I is rendered [aɪ] (roughly "ah" + "ee"), and the Southern...

There is a kickoff event next week:

Join us...

Nelson and Bill,
Thanks for putting us in the picture, and especially for conveying our thoughts and feelings to Chris.

Our pastor used this prayer Sunday evening:

O Lord, support us all the...

I'm late to the party (as usual), but I feel compelled to add to the hypothetical responses: I did! at precisely the price point of a USAK casual, in fact.

First: good lighting. I love my Ott-Lites, big time.

Second, even if you have not encountered the dreaded presbyopia of middle-age, try out some reading glasses (plus 1-2 range) to help prevent...

Congrats, Rocky and Kelly! and welcome young Liam!

I first looked with a browser lacking Flash----nothing there, but I used to old "reply with quote" trick to see what was s'posed to be there. Aha! sez I, youtube stuff won't work here. Swapped to...

Congratulations! I hope you survive the commute.

[ there's a river between Point A and Point B, and Bill's best route would be about halfway between two bridges 50 km apart. :cry: ]

Perhaps in this literate and collegial community, we could learn and remember one thing: the "ugly American" was the hero (in a pretty depressing narrative).

And now you know what frosts my...
